Support my Parish or School
Parishes and Schools are the lifeblood of the Diocese of Brooklyn. It is within these communities that many of us have our first encounter with the larger Body of Christ. Accomplishing the vital mission and ministries of our Parishes and Schools require significant financial resources.
You can financially support your Parish and/or School today, in one or more of the following ways:
The Annual Catholic Appeal. Each year, every parish in the Diocese of Brooklyn participates in the Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA). This communal effort raises financial support for life-giving ministries throughout the Diocese. Gifts made to the Appeal are credited and may be returned to the parish of your choice.
For more information contact the Annual Catholic Appeal Office at 718.965.7300
Alive in Hope Foundation. The Alive in Hope Foundation (AIHF) a 501c3 organization, offers individuals, families, foundations, businesses, etc., the opportunity to offer significant support to any parish, school, ministry or agency in the Diocese through:
